Football: Any of several games played between two teams usually rectangular field having goal posts at each end and whose object is to get the ball over a goal line, into a goal , or between goal posts by running, passing, or kicking

Team Roster:

Shadow, Liam, Dexter, Greyson, Daniel, David, Alex, Frank, Jake, Jack, and Ares

The first thing Ares does when he wakes up is thinking about practice. Crack! He suddenly hears a sound outside, and he walks to the window. He finds that it was thunder; a storm had struck the field. Ares called Jack and told him about the thunder.

Ares said to Jack, '' What are we going to do the game is tomorrow?'' Soon Ares dreams of going to practice were destroyed. Jack came over, and Ares and Jack called the coach, DeMeco Ryans, and told him about the disaster.

Coach DeMeco called all the other players and told them. They were very sad. Tomorrow is the big game; how could they win now? Coach DeMeco said, ''Practice running, throwing, tackling, kicking, and catching.

Coach DeMeco started saying suggestions, '' Running up and down the stairs, throwing cans at Mom, tackling your dog into the dog bed, kicking stuffed animals into the bathtub, and your baby brother tossing toys at you that you have to catch, etc.''

Each player tried out these practices throughout the day, until they got exhausted. They finally ended the practicing for the day. They put on their PJs and went to bed, but UGH!, no one wants to go to bed, right!?

Ares and Jack make a wish upon a star before going to sleep. ZZZzzz. They're off to magic land. Ares and Jack awake and get dressed. Then they did the morning routine. Soon they were in the car, ready to go to the game!!

Once they got there, people got ready and took their seats. As Jack and Ares step on the football field they see two yellow field goals at the top and bottom. They can feel the soft, green freshly cut grass. They can hear the crowd already clapping and cheering. They can already feel the cleats pounding on the ground.
